Principal Data Engineer
Role
We are looking for a bright graduate to join our data engineering team and be part of an ambitious, dynamic and fast-growing business.
As a Graduate Data Engineer, your primary role will be in database development and support.
We will train you to become proficient in all technical aspects of database design and development, from initial assessment of the data quality of incoming files, to database and data load design, through to reporting and to providing insight for the client. This will be performed by a combination of on-the-job experience, and Microsoft certified training courses.
As a result, you will develop many highly sought database skills, which will accelerate your technical and personal growth.
Optima Connect is a Microsoft partner, and you will be exposed to many different industry-leading technologies through our experience with Microsoft. We are not hierarchical so you will gain experience across a range of clients and a wide variety of interesting projects.
We have a friendly team, a great office (overlooking Haymarket Station), and offer a competitive salary and benefits.
Experience
We’re looking for a graduate with at least a second-class honours degree in a technical discipline, such as computing/engineering, a science-based subject, or mathematics.
You will have a strong technical interest and have a solid IT background. Knowledge of modern database systems and/or object-oriented programming techniques would also be helpful.
You must be comfortable working in a team environment with technical and account management resources.
You will be highly motivated and keen to learn, with a positive attitude to work. As a company, we strive for excellence in the quality of our work and our clients, and you will be expected to do likewise.
Applicants must be fluent in English to a native level and eligible to work in the UK.
